Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنِي حَرْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى امْرَأَةً فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ فَأَتَى زَيْنَبَ وَهِيَ تَمْعَسُ مَنِيئَةً فَقَضَى مِنْهَا حَاجَتَهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُقْبِلُ فِي صُورَةِ شَيْطَانٍ وَتُدْبِرُ فِي صُورَةِ شَيْطَانٍ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ امْرَأَةً فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ فَلْيَأْتِ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ يَرُدُّ مِمَّا فِي نَفْسِهِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad told us, Harb — meaning Ibn Abi al-Aliyah — told me, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a woman and was attracted to her, so he went to Zaynab while she was tanning a hide, and he fulfilled his need with her, and said: "The woman comes in the form of a devil and leaves in the form of a devil. So if one of you sees a woman and is attracted to her, let him go to his wife, for that will repel what is in his soul."
